Bought a home that has a rented water softener and a whole house filter, both of which i am not familar with, never had soften water. I dont want to rent the equipment and was thinking of installing a 44000 Whirlpool softener and getting rid of the filter all together. Water hardness in area is in the 30-35 range and there are two people in the household. Im not sure if this water filter is a neccessity either (obviously enough so that the previous owners had it) but I was thinking if so, I can add one under the kitchen sink instead at a later time. As said, I know nothing about water softening so any advice or warnings are welcomed about installing or anything in general I should know before proceeding. |

35 gpg hardness is LUDICROUS hard so a softener is a very good idea. You'll get longer service life out of your plumbing, appliances, and fixtures. Your water heater will operate more efficiently your clothes will last longer, and you'll use a lot less soap and detergent. Since you already have a softener installed replacing it will me a simple job. You might want to inquire from the company that you're renting from now exactly what you have and if you can buy it. I would avoid the Sears, Whirlpool, GE, Morton, Northstar, etc box store softeners as they are low quality and a PITA to repair and service. although some people love them they are considered disposable. With your water's hardness I recommend installing a Reverse Osmosis (RO) unit under the kitchen sink for drinking, cooking, and water for the ice maker if you have one. Ok, water softener 101 ... Get a water test from an independent certified lab. An independent lab has no agenda and won't be trying to sell you water treatment equipment. This is a MUST DO because without it everything is a guess. A quickie water test from Sears or a water softener company won't be as accurate (and possibly not as competent) as from a certified independent lab. If you're on a water system the water utility can supply you with the specs of the water AS IT LEAVES their facility but that is not necessarily representative of the water conditions at your water meter. Hit the Yellow Pages and call at least three local water treatment pros. Make sure you call at least one of the big dogs like Kinetico or Culligan for comparison and at least a couple independent pros. DON'T TELL THEM YOU HAD YOUR WATER TESTED. Give each an opportunity to offer suggestions and provide you with a quote to meet your water treatment needs. IGNORE ANY THAT DON'T TEST YOUR WATER THEMSELVES as they can't speak intelligently to water treatment without knowing what needs to be treated. Ask lots of questions. Softening the entire house or just the water heater (IMO a bad idea)? Warranty, parts & labor or just parts, how long and on exactly what? Install, permits required, licensed plumber? Routine maintenance and costs? Do they stock parts? Response time for emergency (water leak) calls? If they don't explain things to your satisfaction that is a good indicator of how you'll be treated after the sale. After they've gone use your water test to compare with theirs. Are all your treatment needs being addressed? Ask your neighbors if they have any water treatment experience. They might tell you who's good or who to avoid. We also need to know # of bathrooms and the SFR of the plumbing. You can find the SFR bt putting a 1 gallon bucket unfer the bathtub spout and time how long it takes to fill it with both hot and cold faucets open. Do you have any high water use appliances like a Jacuzzi? Come back here and post the specific recommendations and hardware components with the costs and we'll give you our opinions. |
Thanks for the great info! As it stands now we are using the local reputable water treatment business that everyone in town uses. The rental fee is 20 bucks a month and that includes service calls etc. Everything is working as it should. I come from 2 schools of thought... if it aint broke done fix it... and why rent when you can own.... My options are either buy a big box softener install myself or continue with this company/rental. I do not want to pony up thousands for a quality system. im unclear which stance to take in this case but I have lots of information now to consider. |

Well, $20 a month = $240 a year and never having to pay to fix it. Just add salt as needed and you're good to go. In rough numbers you'd be looking to buy a softener around $700 off the internet and more from a local company. You'd have to install it and set up the control valve or pay someone to do it. You'd probably be paying your local reputable water treatment business to fix it if you had a problem and at a significant hourly rate. This is what I'd do... have the local reputable water treatment business come out and test your water before the softener and after the softener to be sure your are getting the water you expect and are paying for. Should be ZERO hardness after the softener all the wat until it regenerates. If the softener is not correctly sized or is tired you'll get hard water leakage before the softener regenerates. You're paying for soft water and you ought to get it. If they are coming put and exchanging resin tanks periodically then you want soft water until the minute they exchange tanks. A hardness test at that moment will tell you that. If the water holds soft until the softener regenerates then keep renting... you're getting a dollar's worth for a dollar and that is the best deal there is or ever was.. |

Don't waste your money on a big box store softener... not with 35 gpg hardness. It will be regenerating so often that the service life will be a lot shorter than you'll like and will be right back where you are now but without a working softener. |

Researchers at Ruhr-Universitat Bochum have created a bio-based solar cell capable of generating a continuous electrical current of several nanowatts per sq cm. The new approach avoids damage to the tapped photosynthetic cells, an issue that has plagued previous attempts to harness nature's "power plant." Read More
How solar cells are taking over sea, sky and space
Solar technology has evolved beyond just your grandpa's big, bulky photovoltaic panels on the roof. Advances in flexible, hyper-efficient and nano-scale materials of late has made it possible for solar cells to begin popping up in all kinds of shapes and places you might not expect. Here's a quick rundown of some surprising spots where solar technology dwells – be sure to flip through the gallery to get a full grasp on the scale of the increasingly solar-powered landscape.

Shipping containers have been used to revolutionize housing, and have also given rise to wacky ideas like an extreme sports theme park. Thanks to a new concept dubbed SOAK, we can add sustainable bathhouse to the growing list of potential uses for the durable metal boxes. Read More
Increasing the efficiency of a hybrid solar cell simply by placing it near a source of ambient noise or vibration would be a boon for photovoltaics in urban areas, in the military, or on machinery or transportation. Hybrid organic/inorganic solar cells are already a tempting option over silicon because of their lower cost, but they suffer from their own drawbacks of efficiency. However, new research demonstrates that the piezoelectric qualities of the cells' inorganic layer can be used to boost the overall efficiency of hybrid systems, which is promising for wherever sound and sun are together. Read More
Researchers at the non-profit Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) have created a new design for an organic solar cell that retains good efficiency while being flexible, thin, and almost completely transparent. Put together, these characteristics may make the cells an ideal candidate for building-integrated photovoltaics. Read More
Italian architectural firm LEAPfactory has constructed a new energy-efficient hotel on the southern glacier of Mount Elbrus, in Russia's Caucasus mountain range. Generally considered the highest peak in Europe, Mount Elbrus has a summit of 5,642 m (18,510 ft). The hotel in question is located 3,912 m (12,834 ft) above sea level, hence its name: LEAPrus 3912.

We typically see photovoltaic panels up on roofs, as they're broad, open surfaces that receive a lot of sunlight. You know what else spends a lot of time in the scorching sun, though? Sidewalks. With that in mind, a team at Washington DC's The George Washington University has created what is claimed to be "the first walkable solar-paneled pathway in the world." Read More
Scientists at the Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin (HZB) have found that graphene retains its remarkable electrical conductive properties even when it is in close contact with materials like glass and silicon. It could be a key discovery for the development of better thin-film solar cells. Read More
Photoflow concept combines solar power with rainwater collection
In many countries around the world the supply of electricity and clean water is often sporadic and of poor quality. Consulting and design company NOS is looking to address this problem with PhotoFlow, a two-in-one concept design that combines solar power generation with water collection and storage. Read More
New thin film increases efficiency of stacked solar cells
Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a new system for strengthening the connections between stacked solar cells which could improve the overall efficiency of concentrated photovoltaic technology and reduce the cost of solar energy production. The hardened connections could theoretically enable these cells to operate at concentrations of up to 70,000 suns while minimizing wasted energy. Read More

The official preseason ACC rankings come out later this week when media flocks to Greensboro (N.C.) for the annual ACC Kickoff, and two things are certain.
First, Florida State will be picked to win the Atlantic Division – as the loaded Seminoles should be – although it won't be unanimous. Some writer, wearing an faded orange polo from 1997 and representing a low country website, will not only pick the Tigers to finish first, he'll vote Florida State in fourth place for good measure.
Secondly, Georgia Tech won't get much respect. The voting will mirror that of most national preseason publications which project the Yellow Jackets to finish somewhere between fourth and sixth place in the Coastal Division.
Welcome to Groundhog Day in the Triad area of North Carolina where every year Georgia Tech is projected to finish lower than, well, just about everyone.
And every year Paul Johnson's teams exceed those expectations.
It's true, look it up. Since Johnson arrived in 2008, no ACC team has exceeded preseason expectations more than Johnson's Yellow Jackets, and it's not close.
You would think after six years of under-rating Tech, the "experts" might know better.
This year those experts will see that the Yellow Jackets return just 10 starters and they'll think: "This is the year the bowl streak (17 consecutive) comes to an end. This is the year Tech finishes below .500 in the ACC (most Tech players weren't yet born the last time that happened)."
I say Georgia Tech will be better than almost anyone thinks this fall, and here are five reasons why:
1. The schedule is manageable
Unlike some previous years, Georgia Tech doesn't have the ridiculous task of playing a division rival on just five days rest. No Thursday night games, no Labor Day games in Blacksburg, no mid-season road games in Provo, Utah, and for the love of Dodd, no game in Clemson for the first time since 2011.
The Yellow Jackets don't play Florida State and they play Clemson in Bobby Dodd Stadium, a place the Tigers haven't won since '03. There are games against NC State and Virginia, two teams that combined to go 0-16 in conference play last year, and games vs. Duke and North Carolina, which Paul Johnson has beaten a combined 11 times in 12 meetings over the last six years.
2. The quarterback situation is better
So., QB, Justin Thomas
I think a lot of Vad Lee, who transferred to James Madison following a season in which he started all 13 games at quarterback. I hope he has a very productive career with the Dukes.
Georgia Tech, however, will be more productive at quarterback this season. Both sophomore Justin Thomas and junior Tim Byerly, although different in style, have both bought-in to the offense.
How Johnson uses the QBs this fall – whether it's almost exclusively Thomas, one of the fastest quarterbacks in college football, or some type of combination of Thomas and Byerly, a tough kid with a good arm – will be fascinating to watch.
3. Special teams have a chance to be… special
It wasn't that long ago when Virginia Tech returned a kickoff for a touchdown that cost the Yellow Jackets a victory in Blacksburg. There was also a muffed punt in Miami that the Hurricanes recovered for a touchdown, a mishandled kickoff at Clemson that was downed at the 1 and a missed PAT, of all things, that prevented the Jackets from a fourth-quarter tie at UGA.
While Tech's special teams have improved over the years, those remain painful memories for Tech faithful.
With who the Yellow Jackets return on special teams, combined with the addition of new coordinator Ray Rychleski, I believe this is the season that Tech wins a game (or two) on special teams.
Even Johnson, who rarely gives such accolades in July, said that sophomore kicker Harrison Butker has a chance to be one of the best in the nation. Punter Ryan Rodwell started half of the 2012 season before redshirting last year, and the Yellow Jackets rarely punt anyway. Tech even has two dependable long snappers.
The real strength, however, should be in the return game. Junior Jamal Golden ranked in the top 10 nationally in both kickoff and punt returns in 2012 before missing most of 2013 with an injury. Sophomores Lynn Griffin and Dennis Andrews have potential to be equally dangerous. Senior DeAndre Smelter was one of the ACC's better punt returners last season.
4. The defense will be as good, if not better
"How could that be possible?" you ask.
Georgia Tech can't replace defensive Jeremiah Attaochu, the school's all-time sacks leader, and Jemea Thomas, one of Tech's most versatile and productive defensive backs in the Paul Johnson era. Those guys now play for the Chargers and Patriots, respectively.
While Tech will sorely miss Attaochu and Thomas – and the Jackets took a kick to the shin when junior Jabari Hunt-Days, a possible replacement for Attaochu, was suspended for academic reasons – I believe the returning Yellow Jacket players begin to fully grasp defensive coordinator Ted Roof's system in this, Roof's second season.
And, it's not like the cupboard is bare.
Junior tackle Adam Gotsis has a chance to be one of the ACC's premier linemen and the Australian gives Tech a pass rush, albeit from the interior. Senior linebacker Quayshawn Nealy just keeps getting better and more productive each season. With senior Isaiah Johnson, who missed last season to recover from a knee injury, returning to action, I think the Yellow Jackets will be improved in the secondary.
5. The big-play threat is back on offense
Since Johnson arrived at Tech prior to the 2008 season, the offense has never been a liability. In fact, over the last six years combined, no team in college football has rushed for more yards and the Yellow Jackets always seem to score plenty of points.
Missing the past three seasons, however, has been the true big-play threat. While this roster may not include a Demaryius Thomas, Jonathan Dwyer or Anthony Allen, collectively this group may be Tech's most explosive since 2009.
Where's this explosiveness going to come from? It starts up front where the offensive line should be a little better, a little deeper and led by senior Shaquille Mason, a legitimate All-American candidate. Behind that line I believe senior B-back Zach Laskey rushes for 1,000 yards this fall. And when the defense puts nine in the box, Tech should be able to throw it better than last season when the Jackets ranked dead last (123rd) nationally in completion percentage.
The bottom line is that Georgia Tech – Johnson's teams in particular – seem to thrive when the Yellow Jackets can muster that us-against-the-world mentality. Prior to the 2008 season, Sports Illustrated projected Johnson's first Yellow Jacket team to finish 3-9. All Tech did that season was win nine games including victories against Georgia, Florida State, Miami and Virginia Tech.
Pick the Yellow Jackets near the bottom of the Coastal Division at your own risk.

Just five servings of fruits and vegetables a day can help reduce the risk of early death.
The new findings contradict past research suggesting seven or more servings were needed.
The study showed the risk of cardiovascular death dropped by four percent for each additional daily portion of fruits and veggies, but there was no extra benefit after five servings.
Higher fruit and vegetable consumption had no effect on the risk of dying from cancer.

We're assuming that the warm weather is going to dip at the close of next month, so the Nike Air Tech Challenge II is getting coloured up accordingly. We've seen a slew of great neon accented variations of Agassi's finest shoe and we're not tired of them yet, but these navy and burgundy versions are equally as good. You've got to hand it to someone at Nike for avoiding the temptation to make these all burgundy to capitalise on a love of all red shoes right now (especially a certain one with a Nike ATC sole unit). We still think that there's some slight half-stepping with the suede on the uppers, but seeing as samples are prone to getting amendments, these might alter form before they go on sale in September. If you want something darker, that black soled sample that did the blog rounds recently (and we prefer a white or off white sole on ours) seems to be on the horizon too. As with most other shoes that drop in several makeups, there's not much else to say about this design from a cultural perspective — John McEnroe, Andre Agassi, Tim Allen, George Bush etc. etc. — but we're very, very excited about the impending reissue of the Air Flare. It's nice to get the opportunity to break this silhouette out with shorts right now and these pairs seem pretty denim-friendly. Keep your eyes peeled for these.

.- The Belgian bishops' conference acknowledged its astonishment over an interview with Bishop Roger Vangheluwe, who admitted he sexually abused two of his nephews.
The bishops expressed "shock" in their statement and distanced themselves from the April 14 television interview with former Bishop of Bruges, Belgium.
Bishop Vangheluwe resigned last year after admitting to sexual abusing his nephew over a 13-year period, from the time the boy was five. In the recent interview, he revealed that he also abused a second nephew.
"It had nothing to do with sexuality," Vangheluwe stated. "I don't have the impression at all that I am a pedophile."
"It began as a game with the boys," he added.
The bishops' conference responded April 15 stating that "(t)he interview is extremely offensive to the victims, their families and all who face the problem of sexual abuse."
"It is slap in the face to the faithful as well. Everyone, ourselves included, is undoubtedly upset and troubled."
"The tone of the interview is completely at odds with the efforts made in recent months to take the problem of sexual abuse seriously, listen to the victims and determine the appropriate measures to take," they said.
Earlier this week, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith ordered Vangheluwe to leave the country to undergo spiritual and psychological treatment.
The director of the Vatican's press office, Fr. Federico Lombardi, said the order was made by the Vatican congregation in order to determine the next steps that would need to be taken.
A definitive decision on Vangheluwe's future will need the approval of the Pope he said.

For B2B marketers courting the digital age, finding a way to wed data with original content is more than half the battle, according to Ann Handley, chief content officer of MarketingProfs. "When those two marry that's when you can get some really great marketing," said Handley, co-author (with C.C. Chapman) of "Content Rules: How to Create Killer Blogs, Podcasts, Videos, Ebooks, Webinars (and More) That Engage Customers and Ignite Your Business" (Wiley 2010). "They're two sides of the same coin. It's part art, part data and content all the time." She spoke with BMA Buzz about the current trend lines in content marketing.
BMA Buzz: MarketingProfs and the Content Marketing Institute (CMI) recently released "The 2013 B2B Content Marketing Benchmarks, Budgets and Trends." What do you think is the most salient aspect of the report?
Ann Handley: Looking forward to 2013 we found that B2B marketers are challenged with producing enough content, whereas last year the finding was that they were most challenged with producing engaging content. I guess the way to interpret that is that marketers are realizing that content is not a one-and-done campaign; it's an ongoing effort. It's a lot of work to come up with content consistently and to be able to produce it in a way that's sustainable.
What that finding really says is, it's a mindset. It's not a task. It's not a channel. It's really wrapping your mind around the idea that you are now a 'media company.' And I think that marketers and businesses for a long time have been hearing that and they've been kind of parroting it back, but this is the year when the reality of that is finally sinking in.
It's all of those things that are pored over in the world of journalism, like [having] an editorial calendar and planning out issues, not only for writing and for production and so on, but all way through to then having to amplify those efforts in social channels. It's a complete shift from the way that marketers have been doing their business forever.
BMA Buzz: B2B marketers are now spending more than a third of their marketing budgets on content marketing, up from 26% last year. What areas of content marketing are commanding the most attention?
Handley: We're seeing an uptick in a lot of different kinds of content. There's an amazing array of content that marketers are producing; things like video and infographics, which are both up in a big way, and, what that says to me, is that we're increasingly embracing this visual world we're in.
Things like Instagram and Pinterest are real forces to be reckoned with, or Facebook and Google+, where they are putting a whole lot more effort into showing graphics in a more vibrant way. Marketers have to think visually; content doesn't equal text anymore.
I actually saw a graphic novel the other day that was put out by a B2B technology company.
Marketers are tasked with trying to break through that clutter. They're doing it through two ways: one is snapshots of things that can be consumed really easily, like clicking on an Instagram feed and looking at a couple pictures, but also, [B2B marketers] are in a very crowded field, so you need to do things that are fun and interesting, and are going to get you some attention; that's where you're seeing the animation, and the comic book I saw.
BMA Buzz: Producing content continues to be a major challenge for many B2B marketers. What are some of the ways that B2B marketers can mitigate the problem?
Handley: Putting someone in charge of content, to start. I'm seeing a lot of companies now looking for people like, Chief Content Officer or Chief Blogging Officer, or somebody who can head up their content marketing efforts. I just got a call from a headhunter the other day looking for a VP of content; a year or two ago that was not a very common job title.
Even companies that have been in content for a while now see the wisdom of putting somebody at the C-level who's going to have a broader view of, how do we really produce the content? How do we create a sustainable content marketing effort? It really is about staffing up in a big way.
It's about budget, it's about putting somebody at the C-level, but it's also about tapping into people who may not traditionally have been part of a marketing department and those are people like former journalists who do know how to tell a compelling story.

Home › Academics › Colleges › College of Engineering and Natural Sciences › Departments and Schools › Department of Mechanical Engineering › News, Events, and Publications › News › TU Professor Earns Outstanding Engineer Award
Wednesday, October 02, 2002
Steve Tipton, a mechanical engineering professor at The University of Tulsa, has received the Outstanding Engineer Award from the Oklahoma Society of Professional Engineers. Tipton was cited for the computer-based work he completed last year for Schlumberger, an oil field service company in Houston.
The award also noted his record at TU, participation in professional and technical society activities and community and civic involvement. He has been with TU since 1984.
Tipton developed software programs and techniques to help Schlumberger design its products more quickly and more efficiently. Schlumberger designs custom-made "down-hole" tools used deep inside oil and gas wells. Examples include valves that control the flow of fluids or parts that can perforate the side of a well to enhance the flow of oil. Tools might be used repeatedly, but different conditions require unique revisions.
"What I've been doing is developing design methodologies that incorporate existing Schlumberger expertise," says Tipton. "I worked with their engineers to learn how they design certain features, then wrote programs that utilize that information, along with the application of solid mechanics theory."
He says company designers can now engineer complex features in down-hole tools more quickly and inexpensively, and with greater reliability and efficiency.
Tipton consulted for the company while he was on a one-year sabbatical. He has returned to full-time teaching duties, but will continue to advise the business.
At TU, Tipton's research ranges from fishing tackle to coiled tubing used in the oil industry. Many projects designed and built by his students have won awards.
In Tulsa, he has been a baseball and soccer coach for more than 10 years. He has also served as judge for district science fairs and as deacon at Forest Park Christian Church.
Tipton received the award Aug. 8 at the society's annual meeting in Norman.

By Blige's own admission, it took her years to find her power and to accept and love herself on her own terms.
"Man, it took a long time of just not feeling good in my own skin and saying to myself, 'how can I not? what's wrong with me?' It's no overnight thing. It's a constant push, especially when you hated yourself and hated how you looked all your life. What really gives you confidence is when certain people start saying negative things about you that you used to say about yourself, and you say, 'Whoa, that's not true. I'm beautiful, I'm smart.' You take that negative energy they are throwing and pushing yourself up. And then there are people on your side who say, 'I wish you can see what I see.' And I'm like, 'yeah, I wish I could see what you see'," she said with a self-deprecating laugh. "But those words make you say, you know what, let me really accept this. This is me and I am not going to get another. This is it."
Childhood abuse and resulting depression prevented Blige from coming to this state of mind for a while, however. "I was a victim of abuse; my mom was a victim of abuse," she said softly. "Every woman in my neighborhood [in Yonkers] when I was growing up was a victim of abuse — physical abuse. All my life as a child I saw women screaming at the tops of their lungs for their lives, women running out of their houses naked trying to get away from their husbands. I've seen the worst of the worst that a woman can go through, and I actually grew up and went through it myself. I almost didn't want to give myself a second chance. I was going to give up. I was right in the middle of the music business, and I was going to give up. I thought there was no hope for me. I was about to record the 'No More Drama' album [in 2001]."
As she hit rock bottom and considered suicide, Blige found strength from her fans. "What turned me around was those four million women from 'My Life.' By that time I had 'Share My World' out, and I realized that wow, if I destroy myself, I destroy all these women that look up to me and say, 'Mary, you saved my life.' I have such a soft heart and I believe a heart that cares for people, and I thought, I can't kill my fans and their kids. I prayed and asked God to help me and he sent me all the help I need. He sent me my husband to help me, who has helped me and has been helping me."
Blige's transformation included kicking a drug habit, working hard on her self-esteem and meeting and marrying Isaacs. And after having achieved those things, she felt strongly about extending a helping hand to others dealing with similar issues. The result: the Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now, which Blige founded with Stoute; $1 from every bottle of My Life will benefit FFAWN. "We went to work, saving lives and giving women a second chance where I saw all that abuse," said Blige, who, together with the Westchester Jewish Community Services, opened the Mary J. Blige Center for Women in Yonkers in October. "We have GED classes, we have a child care system — because the hardest part of being a mother and trying to get a job was trying to find a babysitter, when my mom was raising us. We have a computer room where you can get your résumés together, and go online and see what's out there. I want women to have confidence. I learned that confidence could save a life."
And she hopes to expand beyond Yonkers. "I definitely see us branching out. We have to. There has to be [a center] in New York [City], and definitely one on the West Coast."
One might think that Blige would be itching to counsel other high-profile domestic violence survivors such as Rihanna — but while she's more than willing to extend a helping hand, she doesn't intend to butt in unless asked. "If they ask me for advice and I can help, I will, but I'm not just going to walk up to them and say, 'youuuu ooohhhhh.' Because I don't want anybody doing that for me," she said with a laugh.
Of fellow singers such as Beyoncé and Rihanna, Blige noted, "They seem like pretty smart women to me. As long as they're confident and believe in themselves [that's good.] Everyone's job and assignment is not what I do. That's fair. And what works for you may not work for me and what works for me may not work for you."
There were bright points in her troubled childhood, however. "I had a dream when I was a little girl, about all these lights and all these people. That's all I can say, I had a dream about all these lights and all these people. And I believe I was onstage.
"It worked out the way I thought it would, now. Because I know who I am, and I love myself now. Now, I'm smiling like I did when I was a kid. In the middle of all that turmoil — getting into the music business, not being prepared, not being educated, not having parental guidance to guide me through — it was a complete disaster, but the music helped everybody! We were all in the same disastrous place at the same time, and now that dream is now. That dream was at 'American Idol.' That dream was being onstage with [Andrea] Bocelli. That dream is being able to go to my concerts and have all my fans sing all my songs, word for word."
Blige is also learning French and taking acting lessons in preparation for a biopic of Nina Simone, in which she will play the title role. The film is tentatively slated for a 2012 release. "It's fun, singing in French, singing in opera. I'm learning. If I say to you, 'ca va'? And you say, 'trés bien, merci. Et vous?' That's all you really need, along with 'merci beaucoup' and 's'il vous plait.'"
Then there's the fashion world. Blige — a noted clotheshorse who especially loves big sunglasses, big hoop earrings and scarves — is taking the plunge into accessories design this fall with her own eyewear line, Melodies by Mary J. Blige. She also sees scarves and belts in her near future. But full-on fashion? Of that, she's not so sure.

Gooseneck Barnacles at Etxebarri
Ken: "Percebes weren't on the tasting menu that we ordered, but we had to get some. These were cooked so perfectly over grills—Etxebarri makes all its own charcoal from different woods and it has this crazy-elaborate way of grilling everything. The percebes here were different from any others I've ever had. Usually, they're pretty briny but these were just so fresh and almost sweet. We sometimes serve them in Boston as a special but knew they had to be on the menu in New York, so we spent a ton of time trying to source good ones."

Although the Ford Fiesta only went on sale in the United States recently, Ford has delivered just shy of one million copies of its subcompact around the world since 2008. Today at the Paris Motor Show, Ford unveiled a sportier version of the popular hatchback, which will serve as its 2011 World Rally Championship contender: the Fiesta RS.
Based on a standard, two-door Fiesta hatchback, Ford's rally car builder M-Sport stripped the car and completely rebuilt it to WRC specifications. As expected, front and rear fenders were widened to fit the larger wheels and tires, while a complete body kit helps the hatch slice through the air with less resistance. Its hood, roof panel, and rear spoiler have also been modified to redirect air. Inside, Ford insists the car will remain fitted with several production components in order to bear a resemblance to a production Fiesta.
"We've worked hard to ensure the car is undoubtedly related to the best-selling Fiesta road car," said Gerard Quinn, Ford of Europe's head of motorsports. "We can't wait to debut our official car in the hugely demanding World Rally Championship next year."
In order to conform to the FIA's 2011 WRC engine size regulations, Ford ditched its 2.0-liter powerplant in favor of a 1.6-liter I-4. The new, smaller, turbocharged engine is based on the same 1.6-liter engine found in European Fiestas, and could produce up to 300 horsepower. Unlike a dealership-spec Fiesta, the WRC contender will feature a full roll cage and all-wheel drive.
Final testing is being carried out by the teams as the new Fiesta RS prepares for its rally debut at the start of the 2011 WRC at Rally Sweden next February.

Spot the Humpback
Humpback whales are known for more than just their wandering ways. The marine mammals songsa series of moans, howls and crieshave long fascinated scientists, while humpbacks have also been called one of the most acrobatic whale species due to their frequent displays of breaching and flipper slapping. In addition, the animal is easily identifiable by its pronounced ventral pleats, or grooves that run along its belly like ridges on a potato chip.By Stuart Thornton
Friday, October 29, 2010
With a barrel-shaped body and pectoral fins protruding like oversized wings, the humpback whale is not designed for speed. Yet the marine mammal, which can reach lengths of 50 feet, is known for its impressively long travels between warm-water breeding grounds in the winter and cold-water feeding grounds during the summer.
"Humpbacks arguably make the longest documented migration of any mammal," says marine mammal research biologist John Calambokidis, who has studied the whales since 1986.
While some humpback whales have been known to migrate from the Antarctic Peninsula all the way to the tropical waters off Costa Rica, the marine mammals are not exactly known for their ability to swim fast.
"The speeds that a lot of these whales that make long migrations travel at is often not that impressive," Calambokidis says. "In other words, they can be just as slow as three to five miles an hour. But the impressive part is they are doing that 24 hours a day. That means they can be covering 100 miles in a day. They can cover these rather long distances . . . in a month or two."
Although humpbacks were once hunted to near extinction, since achieving federal endangered species status their population has rebounded. They are found in oceans all over the world. The Northern Hemisphere populations reside in the North Atlantic Ocean and the North Pacific Ocean. The southern group spends its time feeding off the coast of Antarctica. During the winter, both groups head to warmer waters for breeding and raising their young.
According to Calambokidis, there is some scientific debate about why humpback whales migrate so far. It might be because the giant creatures, and their vulnerable newborn calves, need warmer waters to reduce energy loss during the winter.
There's also the possibility that humpback whales migrate as a strategy to escape predation by killer whales. Calambokidis says that humpback whales are able to defend themselves against killer whale attacks easier if they are in shallow, warm waters rather than deeper cold-water ocean regions.
During their three-week to two-month migrations, humpback whales seldom eat. They live off body fat accumulated before embarking on their journey. Calambokidis says that it's hard to tell if humpbacks fatten up as a way of preparing for their travels or because they somehow know that prey will be less abundant in the near future. Humpback whales mostly eat tiny shrimp called krill, which are found in the icy waters of the Arctic and Antarctic.
"You could say they are fattening up for the long migration," he says. "If they do the long migration because of prey that aren't as abundant in the winter, it's kind of a chicken and egg thing. It's preparing to migrate by feeding heavily, but the reverse is also true: the long migration is driven by the fact that [the whale] can only feed heavily during part of the season."
How the humpback whales know where to travel during their migrations still has scientists stumped. "I am not sure anyone has a clear answer to this other than speculation," Calambokidis says. -

Ditto on the cellphone signal - I was in a restaurant the other day and could not get a signal at all. Stepped outside, no problem.
This whole setup sounds so like a shakedown for whatever they could get the guy to cough up. If I legitimately needed a few bucks for gas, I'd ask people outside, next to my vehicle, not in a men's room!
